“The QUESTION of opening a business department at Hampton has long been pressedupon the attention of the School’s authorities.There is a continual demand for young men and women capable ofkeeping accounts in schools and in the business enterprises that are beingstarted among the colored people. The colored boy is shut out from nearly all the business opportunities that are open to the white boy. He cannot obtain a position as clerk in a store. His people know little.The result is that he receives little or no business training, he is easilycheated at the store, he does not obtain proper title to his land, he isunfitted to help his people in organizing land companies and other associations for the improvement of his people.

The Hampton School with its varied industries is especially adapted topractical training. In addition to instruction in book-keeping in thisdepartment and other lines of study pursued in a business college, practical training can be given in the sixteen shops of the School as wellas on the farm in discovering and keeping account of the material andlabor, thus gaining an actual knowledge of how business is carried on.

Mr. Harris Barrett, one of the School’s graduates, trained in our treas-ury department, secretary of the colored building and loan association in Hampton, and a careful student of the problem of thecolored race, will devote himself to this department. The teachers of the academic department will give instruction in mathematics, history, geography and other subjects related to business training. The department will be opened in October.”

Our finance department continues to supply Wall Street and the majorbanking, insurance and finance firms with bright young talent. We are one of 60 schools in the nation with a stocktrading room and a video conference center. Moreover, we are one of the few schools in the nation with a majorin the field of entrepreneurship. Our future strategies include an emphasis in the new PhD program in business.

In the Fall of 2000, we successfully launched our highly selective five-year MBA program. The program is rigorous, including five courses in account-ing, five in engineering, leadership application coursework, two required internships, required tennis and golf and a competitive methodology toteach critical thinking, strategy and negotiations using chess analysis and Kendo (Japanese fencing).

Five-Year MBA Graduate ProgramThe five-year MBA program created in Fall 2000, includes 162 aca-demic hours with an imbedded undergraduate degree in business admin-istration. Competencies of the five-year MBA are achieved through aninterdisciplinary approach that provides students with (a) a liberal edu-cation; (b) a technology and engineering-based business background; (c)critical thinking and interpersonal skills; and (d) structured varied workexperiences. Professional application and refinement activities are need-ed to insure business sophistication and the internalization of profession-al skills, character and critical thinking skills.

Business Graduate SchoolTheory, Simulation and ApplicationThe Business Graduate School operates within three spheres, that includetheory, academic simulation and physical application. The programrequires academic theory, which is simulated via the leadership applica-tion program. It is applied in the physical/practical sense via requiredinternships. In our critical thinking and our negotiations coursework, stu-dents are taught academic content, with the application of critical think-ing simulated by chess analysis, with further simulation via role-playing(case study) of the negotiations component. Chess analysis trains studentsin the vertical dimension of decision making. Kendo is used as the phys-ical application of chess which is the simulated application of criticalthinking. A problem-solving methodology is taught in our required engi-neering coursework. The data gathering, analysis and communicationcompetency is developed in six required accounting courses. In the finalyear students participate in “for profit” consulting with existing business-es. These courses allow students to internalize competencies for lifelonguse.

Admission RequirementsThe five-year MBA program is a rigorous, time absorbing and demandingacademic “runway.” The curriculum is structured with a built-in case andteam-based methodology of real-world intensity. A minimum of 1,100 SAT

score or 26 ACT score, impressive high school transcripts and three strongpersonal references are required for admission.

Program DesignAlthough the professional MBA is a broad, general degree, concentra-tions may be acquired by taking business and free electives in an areaof specialty consistent with a student’s professional interests. For example,students desiring a concentration in accounting leading to eligibility totake the Uniform CPA Examination can do so by selecting accountingcourses for their free elective and graduate business electives.

Retention RequirementsA minimum grade of “B” is expected in all courses taken at HamptonUniversity and a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in courses takenat Hampton University is necessary to graduate. Students receiving two“C” grades in the 4th or 5th year in 500 and 600 designated graduatecourse work are considered on probation. Students with three “C” gradesin these courses will be suspended for at least one semester if their cumu-lative grade point average is above 3.0. Students will be dropped fromthe program if their cumulative grade point average falls below 3.0 andthey have three “C” grades in 500 and 600 level courses. The five-yearMBA program is extremely competitive. Students who fail to maintain therequired GPA (as shown below) for any semester will be counseled to pur-sue other majors.
